Well, no. Confirmation bias is interpreting things to agree with existing beliefs. His knowledge of the Bible and doctrines that would answer many of his questions is limited. Seeking knowledge (true or not) that you don't have is definitely not confirmation bias.

lol...

Seeking knowledge is not confirmation bias but seeking knowledge to support preconceived notions without validating the basis of that notion is confirmation bias.
